Reports from Springfield, Ohio, are getting uglier by the day.
As many as 20,000 Haitian immigrants have arrived ina town of just 58,000, thanks in large part to the Biden administration’s expansion of the Temporary Protected Status program for immigrants from that nation.
The splashiest claim out of Springfield — that the Haitians are eating the locals’ pet cats — generated a social media firestorm with no apparent basis in reality. (Cute memes, though!)

And those claims were backed up recently by outraged citizen Anthony Harris at a town meeting.
The missing ducks, however, amount to little more than a distraction.
As bizarre and dystopian as the “Biden-Harris TPS beneficiaries eat beloved local wildfowl” storyline might be, it’s only a symptom of the real problem.
No: The real problem is that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have spent nearly four full years erasing our border and building systems to create a de facto permanent residence for an endless influx of immigrants including millions of illegals.
What does that mean in practice?
It means the death of Aiden Clark, killed at age 11 when a Haitian immigrant veered into oncoming traffic and forced his school bus off the road.
It means a 45-year Springfield resident reportedly being forced out of her home by lawn squatters.
It means the surreal scene from a town meeting, where resident after resident stood up and berated the local government for allowing the Haitians to threaten and bully locals, to flout public safety and worse.
It means chaos and disorder across the nation, not just in Midwestern towns like Springfield but in the tiny communities at the border utterly overwhelmed by the inflows.
It means migrant criminals robbing and raping and killing in New York City (and beyond) as the Treasury groans under the weight.
It means the reported takeover of an entire apartment building in Colorado by Venezuela’s vicious Tren de Aragua gang.
And Kamala Harris, Biden’s border czar, owns all of it just as much as the president does.
It’s beyond important that voters remember this as she desperately tries to pretend she’s not an open-borders true believer (and the media do everything they can to help).
Otherwise, America can expect only four more years of carnage and chaos waved across the border.
